How are these welds?

[Strangelymade]

Hi, I would definitely class myself as a beginner, and could do with so advice on these welds. They were done using a borrowed sealey mighty mig 150 with flux core wire 1.0mm.
The tube is 38mm diameter with 2.5mm wall thickness and the gussets are 4mm think flat plate. Both had all the mill scale cleaned off. The settings on the welder were Max, 2, wire speed 6.

Definitely not bad for a beginner, looks like it was nice n hot. Just practice on tidying them up, The top left picture where you welded the gusset the weld looks barely on the pipe.

Not pretty but it's not going anywhere. Give it some wire brush.
1mm wire is a bit big for those thicknesses

Presuming not structural. They'll do.

They look plenty strong enough for most applications

sort of like a ten dollar hooker ,,,, not very pretty ,but it will get the job done

Suitable for purpose.

Not the prettiest.

Very acceptable for a beginner.

Good stuff.

Now for this next time, try using the helmet......

I agree with Chip, pix #2 lower end, looks like no fusion into the pipe. all weld is on the gusset.

Better than what some inbred did lol

The guy who did this didn’t think anything was wrong with it! No penetration.

Agree with others, I have same welder same settings, try to do everything at full power to learn the skill of filling holes.
